Then your ruling is still incorrect.
This was after a TO -- the "resumption of play" procedure applies in both codes (NCAA reference 4-54, especially AR 32).
The team wasn't "delaying the ball from being made live" by staying in the huddle -- the ball was made live, just without the team on the court / ready to play.

Yes Sir, I agree with that A.R. when the teams are already back on the floor after the TO. Direct quote from NCAA rulebook. Not that I have to quote it to you, I just want to.
"Section 3. Indirect Technical Fouls
The following shall result in an indirect technical foul to be charged to a team
(coach), player or, in the case of a substitution, to that individual.
Art. 1. Delay of game. A team shall not delay the game. Delay of the game
shall include, when the game clock is not running:
a. Consuming a full minute by not being ready when it is time to
start either half or any extra period;
b. Failure to supply scorers with data per Rule 3-3;
c. Repeatedly delaying the game by preventing the ball from being
promptly put in play, such as delaying the administration of a
throw-in or free throw by engaging in a team huddle any place
on the playing court.
1. One warning shall be given to a team that fails to comply; an
indirect technical foul shall be assessed thereafter.
d. Failing to remove chairs/stools immediately after the warning
signal of any timeout and to complete cleanup before the final
warning signal alerts all personnel that play is going to resume.
1. One warning shall be given to a team that fails to comply; an
indirect technical foul shall be assessed thereafter."
